Animal Welfare: Managing Stray Cats and Dogs

Dear Supporters,

On behalf of our partners, volunteers, staff and the animals of Playa del Carmen we want to say a massive Thank You for your support in 2016! Local organisations are making a bigger impact on the ground because of you and your support. It may seem like a small contribution but when lots of us contribute for the same cause we manage to overcome many obstacles.

Here are a few words, images and facts about how we utilised your donations in 2016!

Coco’s Animal Welfare received this year an equivalent of £3 450. These donations supported their year round Spay and Neuter Campaign, supplied equipment and supplies for the recently inaugurated clinic and medications for the free/low cost surgeries provided to animals in Playa del Carmen. 

2017 is super close and we need to continue supporting our partners so they can achieve their goals, their goals are ours too. We allow our local NGO partners to drive the agenda for the projects that we support them on because they have a better understanding of local issues and cultural norms. They also have the support and trust of the locals, which is critically important to the long-term success of our projects.

Some of the on-going projects you can support in 2017 are the year-round spay and neuter campaign and the purchase of medicines, disposables and surgery tools. These ongoing projects are all vitally important to helping Coco’s make inroads to controlling the feral animal population in Playa del Carmen and educating the population on proper animal care.

Thank you for your continued and generous support this year! We wish you a happy and prosperous 2017.

With Gratitude,

GVI Mexico
